[Robert · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very fun comics project for me to do. It's all about tabling, which is the practice of selling items at conventions, expos, or fairs - in this case at alternative comics events. I invited several of my buddies and admired peers to contribute comics about their own tabling experiences - good, bad, and very ugly - and it all turned out really well. Tablegeddon was chosen for the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress at the Small Press Expo of 2013.

Cartoonists in Tablegeddon in order of appearance: Max Clotfelter, Cara Bean with Sally Carson, Kelly Froh, Carrie McNinch, Rob Kirby (that's me), Marc Campos, Aron Steinke, Gabrielle Gamboa, Justin Hall, Tony Breed, Matt Moses with Jess Worby, Zine Crush, Rick Worley, Jason Martin, and John Porcellino. It all adds up to a 5 star extravaganza for sure!

Anyone who has had to sell their wares directly to the public (at craft fairs, at conventions) will identify with this adorable comic zine.
